ColorMyAlbum turns photos you upload into coloring pages. Your photos are the whole point of the product and the most personal thing you give us, so this page says plainly what happens to them.

What we collect

• Your account. Your email address, your first name if you give it, and a password. The password is stored hashed, so we never see it. If you try the app before signing up, we make an account with no email or name at all; it becomes yours when you save it with an email.
• Your photos. The pictures you upload, up to 20MB each, and the coloring pages made from them. We keep a resized copy of each photo rather than the full-resolution file — big enough for everything we make from it, but not a backup of your camera roll. Keep your own copies.
• What you color. In the app, what you color on a page is saved to your account, so the page looks the same on any phone or tablet you sign in on. We also keep a small picture of each colored page for your shelf.
• Your order. What you bought and what it cost, the name you asked us to print on the cover, and — for printed books — the address it ships to.

Advertising

We advertise on Facebook and Instagram, and we use Meta’s tools to see which of our ads work and to show them to people likely to want ColorMyAlbum. On the website, that means a script from Meta that notes which of our pages you visit and sets Meta’s own cookies, alongside the one we set to keep you signed in.

When you confirm a new account, make the first drawing in an album, add an album to your cart, start checkout or place an order on the website, we also tell Meta directly, so it can match that to an ad you may have seen: a scrambled copy of your email address and first name, the price where there is one, and for an order its total along with scrambled copies of the phone number, city, state and postal code you gave at checkout, plus technical details such as your browser and IP address. Scrambled means Meta receives a fingerprint it can compare against its own records, not the details themselves. Meta never receives your photos, your coloring pages, the name printed on your cover or your street address.

If you came to the website from one of our ads or links, we also note which one on your account when you sign up, so we can see which ads work. That stays with us.

To see which parts of the website are confusing, we use Microsoft Clarity, which records how visitors move through it: where you click, scroll and stop. Your photos, your coloring pages and anything you type are hidden from these recordings. Clarity sets Microsoft’s own cookies; how Microsoft handles that data is in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

You can turn off ads based on this in your Facebook or Instagram ad settings, or block Meta’s script with your browser’s tracking protection or an ad blocker. The website works the same either way. The app has none of this: it uses no analytics, advertising or tracking, keeps you signed in on the phone itself and sets no cookies.

Who else sees it

We use outside companies to run the product — hosting, payments, email, printing and delivery, and the service that generates the line art. Each one gets only what it needs to do its job, and none of them get your data for their own purposes. Meta, for our advertising, is described above.

The part worth reading twice: your photo is sent out to be converted. There is no way to make a coloring page from your photo without handing that photo to the service that draws it. It goes as a link that expires, it is used only to make your page, and we give nobody permission to use it for anything else.

For a printed book, your shipping address and your pages go to the printer — they have to, or nothing arrives. If you want to know exactly which companies these are, ask us and we will tell you.

App subscriptions are bought through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, which handle the payment. We never see your card details; we are told only which plan you have and whether it is active.

We do not sell your photos or your details to anybody and we do not publish them. Your photos and coloring pages are never used in advertising.

How your photos are stored

Photos and coloring pages sit in private storage. They are not on the public internet and cannot be reached by guessing an address. When a page needs to show you your own photo, we generate a link that expires. Album pages stay watermarked until the album is paid for. Your free page is yours to download without one.

The app

The app asks to use your photos and your camera, and uses them only for the photos you choose or take to turn into pages. It never looks through your photo library on its own, and nothing is sent until you pick a photo.

When adding a photo goes wrong, the app sends us a short technical report so we can fix it: the type and version of your phone, how long each step took, the size and type of the photo file, and the error message. It never includes the photo itself, its name or where it was taken. These reports sit in our server logs and are not used for anything else.

Deleting your photos

You can delete a photo at any time. Removing it from a page in the builder deletes the file itself, including any earlier version of that page you replaced — not just the reference to it.

You can also delete your whole account from your account page on the website, or in the app by tapping the ? button and then Delete my account. That removes your photos, your coloring pages, what you colored and your account. It cannot be undone, and we cannot recover your photos afterwards.

Two things survive. If you have bought something, we keep the record that an order was placed and what it cost, because we have to keep proper books. Your name, address, photos and the name printed on the cover are removed from it.

And because the free conversion is one per email address, we keep a scrambled fingerprint of your address. It cannot be turned back into the address. All it can tell us is that the same address, signing up again, has already had its free conversion.

How long we keep things

Your photos stay until you delete them or close your account — they are kept so you can reprint later, which is what the product promises. Order records are kept for as long as we need them for accounting.

Children

ColorMyAlbum is sold to adults. Family photos often include children, and those photos are treated exactly like every other photo here: kept private, never sold, never published, deleted when you say so. Accounts are not for children to create. A parent may hand the app to a child to color; the app collects nothing from the child while they do.

Where your data lives

In the United States. Printing and shipping happen wherever the printer can reach your address.

Getting in touch
